UMBRELLA on time.

. Application filed Jim: 26,

To all whom it may concern:

. Be'it known that I,- WVILHAM' F. FEISTNER, f a citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of. Newport, in'the county of Campbell and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Umbrellas specification.

umbrellas and parasols. Previous to a rain the humidity of the. air is usuallyhigh, and theair -is calm; thereby causing an indifvidual to be'aii'ected by the heat; also usually when an umbrella or parasol is used as a protection against thesunshine the tempera ture is high. In view of. these usual heat discomtorts when using an umbrella or paraso'l I have provided means whereby the user may simultaneously fan; himself while. using the umbrella or parasol.

T ieobjects ofmy invention are to provide I an "umbrella orparasol. which, in addition to the usual use as a protection against rainand. sunshine, may simultaneously be used to create movement or current of air for the purpose of fanning the user; to provide simple, efficient and practical means whereby a person using an umbrella or parasol having my invention embodied therein may direct the flow ofair at will; to provide means whereby-the handle of my improved umbrellaor parasol may be quickly transformed from one for actuating my fans to a stationary handle; to provide means whereby my invention may be installed on any umbrella or parasol. 5 l

My invention comprises vertically inclined Wings .01? fans attachabletto the ribs and top of'any umbrella or parasol and a ratchet handle attachable to, the stem of any umb'rella or parasol forirevolving the vertically inclined wings or fans for the purpose of tanning the user. a

Fig. l is a view partly in vertical section as and'partly in side elevation, the stem being broken in two for lack of space and the part below the break being on a larger scale.

The frame of. my umbrella or parasol is oi the usual construction. and comprises one side ribs l pivotally connected to an upper collar 2 fixed near upper end 3 to stem 41-. Braces 7 are'pivotally connected at one end 6'- to the ribs and at other end 8 to runner 9 received agounti and capable of sliding movement on'stem The cover 10 preferably of flexible maieiial is fixed to ribs 1. Catch 11, ivotally' mounted and connected in slot 12 in stem ghns an outward spring movement for securing lower runner 9, ribs 1% 1, brace 7 and cover 10in an elevated posi tion as shown in Fig. .1. The upper edges 13 of radial Wings '14 are secured to braces 7 by snaps 15 each having an eye 18 fixed to wings 14; respectively, for receiving wngne 17 fi xed to wings 14-. respectively. The and tongue are positioned on wing 14: so that portions 18 of the radial wings may be shied by h r M 7 a iv top mi sed position in. e spring w i i. v n onset with and securing rnnv t upward movement nhe vertioet r re ulates T iiiecti ti ed, l enneliy rotating handle (33 fixed to 4 is the most eon n'iethod for revolving win s" it.

Nut 49 threaded to lower end 39 of rod 29 isfor the double purpose of regulating the tension in spring 35 and to lock ratchet teeth 26 and 27s) that handle 23 isfixed to stem 4 by screwing nut 40 upward until butt 42 of the nut contacts collar 43 em circling rod.. 29, thereby through casing 23, pin 32, pin 33 and tube 28 the ratchet teeth 26 and 27' are locked. i

As shown in Fi 10 ratchet teeth 26 end 2'? are enclosed wit lll). casing 23 for the purpose of eliminetingiany undesirable noise caused Toy the ratchet teethL As shown in Fig. 2 teeth 26 and 27 are designed to rotate top 20 in an opposite direotlon from that of teeth 26 and 27 as shown in Fig. 7. I

It is to be understood that it is not intended to confine the invention to the forms of embodiments herein disclosed because it is susceptible of embodiments of various forms all coming within the scope of the claims.
